With the New Year, people are asking: What will we see happen in the transportation industry, especially with rates, and how will it affect my freight costs?
With the start of the New Year, people are asking us: What will we see happen in the transportation industry this year, especially with rates, and how will it affect my freight costs?
Watch this week's video to hear my predictions.
If our prediction about freight capacity is accurate, smart shippers will take a look at when they are going to conduct their sourcing events. If your sourcing event schedule calls for going to market at the end of the second or third quarter, we want to encourage you to look at the schedule and consider going to market earlier - in the first quarter if at all possible.
If you're interested in more information about how you can conduct successful sourcing events or other strategies to manage and reduce your transportation costs, give us a call at 630-833-0890 or send us an email. We're on your team, we're here to help, and we're passionate about seeing you have a great 2017!
